"Oh! You have a backpack? You have anything in it?" Without much other words or permission, Yuugi started to dig through the contents of the bag.
"I hope you brought back food. We're running low." He looked up at Bakura.
"Yeah, still here. I'm not going anywhere. It's a damn slump, that's what it is. And you never can get out of it," he thought for a moment.
"Anyone been taken? No. Not yet. Not that I know of. Of course, I'm just a small part of the Squat." He continued to dig through the backpack. If he had a tail, it would be wagging.
"Oh! Can I have a cig?" Yuugi hadn't been one to smoke obsessively, but he would if there was a chance. He pulled out the pack of Marlboros. They were the good, American kind.
"I haven't had one in awhile.." He stared at Bakura as he took another drag.

Bakura watched Yugi as he slowly blew the smoke out. "You think it was Christmas by how your acting." He stood up from the couch, pulled off his jacket and threw it to the floor and sat on it next to Yugi. Most of the time Bakura wasn't much of a people person, but he could deal with some of the people living in the squat.
"If you want one go ahead, but you owe me shorty. I'm going to need to get another pack soon anyways." He said as he took the backpack from Yugi's hands and started to dig through it. "I got some stuff to pawn off, rings, watches and wallets. I do that in the morning so we can get some food."
Bakura pulled out a deck of playing cards and tossed them at Yugi. "Here, you were saying yours were getting old, so now you got nothing to whine about. You didn't get them from me, alright?" He threw his cigarette butt on the floor and ran his hands through his jagged hair. "Don't want people thinking that I'm going to start bring them gifts or some crap like that."
((don't ask, but I randomly decided that 'Kura would look like he did during the AE arch. ^^; ))

(( The City's back up. There are some new rules. I suggest you go check them out. ))
Yuugi took the cards from Bakura, looking them over.
"Thank you very much." He smiled, flipping through the cards. Even though it was rare enough for him to get his hands on new cards, he relished them with everything he had. He was much like a child sometimes. As for the fact that it was like Christmas re-enacted, that part was probably true.
Yuugi took the cigarette and plopped it in his mouth, holding his hand out expectantly for the lighter. Even if it was cheap, it worked.
"I won't tell anyone and I'll get you something." What would he get him? Yuugi wasn't sure. He would get Bakura whatever he managed to steal.

((Yes! *does a little dance* And if this post sucks blame my not sleeping))
Bakura shook his head slightly as he handed Yugi the lighter. "Tch, whatever. Let's just say if you get your hands on some cigarettes you got to let me bum a few alright?" Bakura searched through his pack once more, this time bring out a weathered notebook and pen. Without paying much attention to Yugi he opened the notebook where he had dog-eared it and began to write.
After a moment of silence Bakura spoke up as he continued to write. "Why do I always come back here? Seems stupid, leaving and going as far as I do only to come back to this damn place." He finally looked back to Yugi, smirking. "If this is a slump you can't get out of we're all screwed Yugi."

"Alright." He lit the cigarette and took a long drag automatically.
That felt good. Yuugi hadn't had a cig in quite awhile now. Having one and letting Bakura take a few, in Yuugi's opinion, was a fair trade.
"Hey, what are you doing?" He asked, cigarette dangling from his pointer finger and middle finger.
He got up off of the floor and tried to look over Bakura's shoulder.
"What's that? You're not suddenly an undercover cop, are you?"

Jou blinked at the timid boy standing before him, perfectly quiet for a few moments before he began chuckling. Then, eventually, laughing. "Hehe, I... I know you're... not who I first thought ya' were... don't worry, I've got eyes. I can tell." He smiled and winked playfully at the boy, holding out a hand for him to shake. Hey, it always paid off to be friendly to the new guys. Unless they were nasty first. That's when it paid off to teach em' who's boss.
"...Let me guess... now, this is just a guess and all, don't get mad if I'm wrong, but... you're a new runaway, aren't you?" His eyes became a little more serious, but the rest of his jovial air remained. "And... you and your little friend there don't have a place to stay?"

Ryou continued to stare at his feet, his pale hand idly scratching the black furred head between the ears. He felt the small kitten's body shake, but this time in a pur. He was glad he could be some kind of help to his only companion...the one who insisted on staying with him even if he could be in a warm home instead of in a pair of cold arms.
"Uh...yeah..." he muttered dimly and kicked at a pebble by his new looking shoes. Back home he could have anything he wanted...but he ran away instead. At times the reason he didn't go into those slums were because he was afraid of someone trying to steal his nice clothes, or wallet that he stole from his father.
"No...I have been sort of...wandering for a few days..." He finally managed to lift his gaze to the new boy's for barely a second before having to look away again. "But I am fine...you can go...its okay." Nodding quickly he covered the kitten up more in his only jacket. His bare arms were now covered in goose bumps, his white hair shifting in the even colder breeze.

Bakura closed the notebook quickly and glared at Yugi. "As if I would work with those pricks. I'm a thief and a foster home runaway, you really think I'm a cop?" He tossed the notebook back into his backpack and stood up. "And after I got you cards, that's low shorty."
Bakura grabbed his jacket off the ground, shook the dirt off and pulled it back on. "I just like to write stuff down. I know we all share stuff around here, but my thoughts are mine got it?"

"Sorry, I didn't mean to." He watched Seto scoop up his jacket.
"Please don't leave. I'm sorry for what I said. I really am." He had spoken before he had thought.
"I don't want to be all alone here until the rest come back." Yuugi pouted, "Please don't leave? I'm sorry I doubted you."
He was. But one couldn't be too careful around the Squats. They were like rats, people knew they were there but turned the other way. If they caused trouble, however, the authorities would have to interfere. Which would not be very good for any of them.
"I'm hungry. Don't you have some food in your backpack? Or we can get something out of the pantry."

TatteredRaven ((I think you meant Bakura. ^^; ))
Yuugi smiled, sliding up in the seat next to Bakura, "Can I have some?" He asked, looking at the bags, "Just a little bit? I'll give you five cigs once I steal a pack." He smiled at Bakura the best he could, looking up at him with those wide, purple eyes.
"Please? Just a little bit?"

((tis okay ^_^))
Bakura rolled his eyes at Yugi's act and sighed. "Oh god, not that face. Go ahead, take what you want just knock it off with that damn face." He crossed his arms behind his head, trying to get comfy on the old couch. But I'm going to hold you to those cigarettes, so don't try to get out of later shorty. I don't forget debts, especially if they involve cigs."

Yuugi smiled. He had won.
He took one of the bags and opened it, revealing the swee-smelling candies inside.
"Thank you, Bakura." He said, his smile broad, "I'll give you those cigs as soon as I steal them." He began to eat, shoving the chocolate treats in two at a time.
They were pretty good. They seemed especially good since they barely got to eat.

Outside, the mixture of intense cold and wind made it almost unbearable; Inside it was little better. Yet for Yami, even the slightest protection from the cold was enough.
He was standing in the 'kitchen' of the Squat, hands in the pockets of his vest, staring out the grimy, broken window into the desolate scene beyond it. His crimson red eyes were narrowed against the gust of wind that was coming into the house, and his bangs ruffled slightly in the wind.
Yami preffered being alone; His past experiences in life had made him wary of people, and because of it there were few people he talked to, and even less that he liked.
He sighed, a sound lost on the howling of the wind, before stretching his arms outward in order to bring some warmth back to his fingers and hands. He heard a distant slam coming from somewhere in front of the house, the familiar slam of the door closing, but disregarded it. People came and went all the time from the Squat - Few of them were of interest to him.
He continued staring out the window, aware of the voices now coming from
the front room...
(( Sorry its so bad.
But I wrote this at.. 3:30 in the morning.
I'd write more, but I have to leave~
I'll be back late Sunday (going out of town)
so much love to everyone. <3 ))
